I wonder if Glover will exec produce? Bring over his brother and creative team from Atlanta.
That would be the dream.
That would be the dream.
My issue wasn't the 'how' of the scheduling but rather the 'why' would he do this at all?
As the first Star Wars series Mandolorian had a ton of excitement and attention behind it, if this Lando series does happen it'll be the (???) third or fourth live action series at that point?
If Glover's star is on the rise why would he commit to doing such a show especially as it's based on a film that bombed in the first place? In saying that perhaps Disney promised him the same level of control and creative on this potential show as he had in Atlanta and he wants to try something different.
We shall see.
I feel very much in the minority in that I really liked Solo.
Sure, it's basically Young Hercules or Young Indiana Jones, but that made it super charming for me. And Glover was one of the best parts. I'd absolutely watch a series.
I dunno, I'm always the odd man out with Star Wars because I've liked everything Disney has put out except Rise of Skywalker.

I definitely liked the heist-y parts of it there was stuff to like in there for sure
Was thinking this. The movie didn't really endear me to him that much because it just felt like he was doing an impression. A limited series may give him more room to put his mark on the role.
Better to set this after Solo and give him his own cool new ship, IMO. Or have it be a running joke that his ship always stinks and is worse than the Falcon.
Before Solo came out I thought it would've been a fun framing device for the movie. Solo isn't a bad film but we didn't really get anything from it being about Han Solo. We already know his story and his arc and it explained a bunch of things that were better left unseen imo. Like the Kessell Run, we shouldn't know if he's just bullshitting or if he's legit. Or the origins of his last name lol. Lando, Qi'ra, Enfys Nest, and Beckett's gang were more interesting but it might be a hard sell to get the movie greenlit versus pitching a Han Solo movie.
He could get it back...and lose it by series end in some other bet
Solo should have been a TV series in the first place. Would have sidestepped a lot of the complaining and would have been a big hit, IMO. Of course, Disney + wasn't a thing yet.
Given his placement in the advertising, I was surprised with how little he was actually in Solo He's gone for a huge chunk of that movie, and every time he was in a scene I found myself just wishing the movie was about him--he looked like he was having more fun than anyone else there.
I would absolutely be down for a Mandalorian style show that follows the same loosely serialized structure. Each week a different ridiculous space caper.

I don't know how anyone can get excited for stuff like this anymore. I'm so tired of these characters and this entire era, TROS just nuked the whole thing for me.
I don't even think Glover was that good as Lando, he was trying too hard. He doesn't have the same natural swagger as Billy Dee and had to force it. I think Ehrenreich gave a much better performance.

Even though the critics thought it was just okay, the general public seemed to really dig it. Yeah, itg bombed in the BO but the people that did see liked it.
It was nice seeing mostly positively online after the months of everyone fighting about TLJ. The film would've done a lot better if it had been pushed back to December and had a longer marketing push than 2 and a half months.
I get the feeling that Solo is the movie that Lucas would have made in the late 80s if he was interested in a returning to SW during that time.
Some fans won't get into it because of this.
Others will love it. (I really enjoyed it)
But it isn't a "bad" movie by any means.
Yup. I'm biased, but everyone I know who seen it is surprised at how decent a job they did.
It's alright.
I expected a train wreck. It's far from that. And it settles a debate about the character.
shoots first.
Yeah... my hype for new SW things used to be unmatchable, but Disney beat it into the ground.
